2010-07-13	Add two simple example programs.	Lasse Collin	2	-0/+242
	Hopefully these help a bit when learning the basics of liblzma API. I plan to write detailed examples about both basic and advanced features with lots of comments, but these two examples are good have right now. The examples were written by Daniel Mealha Cabrita. Thanks.
2010-03-31	Add a simple tip to faq.txt about tar and xz.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+6
	Thanks to Gilles Espinasse.

2009-08-27	Fix a typo in FAQ.	Lasse Collin	1	-1/+1
	Thanks to Jim Meyering. (From now on, I try to always remember to put the relevant thanks to commit messages.)
2009-08-18	Updated faq.txt.	Lasse Collin	1	-166/+73
	Some questions worth answering were removed, because I currently don't have good up to date answers to them.
2009-06-05	A few more spelling fixes. Released the .xz spec 1.0.3.	Lasse Collin	1	-5/+7

2009-06-04	Fix purporse -> purpose. Thanks to Andrew Dudman.	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+5
	Released .xz spec 1.0.2 due to this fix too.
2009-06-01	The .xz file format version 1.0.1	Lasse Collin	1	-7/+22

2009-05-01	Remove docs that are too outdated to be updated	Lasse Collin	5	-956/+0
	(rewrite will be better).
2009-05-01	Added documentation about the legacy .lzma file format.	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+166

2009-05-01	Renamed the file format specification to xz-file-format.txt	Lasse Collin	1	-0/+0
	which is the filename used on the WWW.
2009-04-13	Updated history.txt.	Lasse Collin	1	-57/+66

2009-04-13	Put the interesting parts of XZ Utils into the public domain.	Lasse Collin	1	-35/+3
	Some minor documentation cleanups were made at the same time.
2009-01-28	The .xz file format specification version 1.0.0 is now	Lasse Collin	1	-35/+49
	officially released. The format has been technically the same since 2008-11-19, but now that it is frozen, people can start using it without a fear that the format will break.
2008-12-09	Put the file format specification into the public domain.	Lasse Collin	1	-15/+9
	Same will be done to the actual code later.
2008-11-19	Oh well, big messy commit again. Some highlights:	Lasse Collin	1	-114/+146
	- Updated to the latest, probably final file format version. - Command line tool reworked to not use threads anymore. Threading will probably go into liblzma anyway. - Memory usage limit is now about 30 % for uncompression and about 90 % for compression. - Progress indicator with --verbose - Simplified --help and full --long-help - Upgraded to the last LGPLv2.1+ getopt_long from gnulib. - Some bug fixes
2008-09-27	Updated file format specification. It changes the suffix	Lasse Collin	1	-93/+32
	of the new format to .xz and removes the recently added LZMA filter.
2008-09-07	Changed Filter ID of LZMA to 0x20.	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+2

2008-09-03	Minor updates to the file format specification.	Lasse Collin	1	-20/+85

2008-06-17	Update the file format specification draft. The new one is	Lasse Collin	1	-1286/+508
	a lot simpler than the previous versions, but it also means that the existing code will change a lot.
2008-05-30	Typo fixes from meyering.	Lasse Collin	2	-3/+3

2008-05-06	Bunch of grammar fixes from meyering.	Lasse Collin	1	-4/+4

2008-04-28	Fixed wrong spelling "limitter" to "limiter". This affects	Lasse Collin	1	-7/+7
	liblzma's API.
2008-02-06	Tiny clean up to file-format.txt.	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+3

2008-01-16	Tiny non-technical edits to file-format.txt.	Lasse Collin	1	-3/+3

2008-01-06	Introduced compatibility with systems that have pre-C99	Lasse Collin	1	-2/+8
	or no inttypes.h. This is useful when the compiler has good enough support for C99, but libc headers don't. Changed liblzma API so that sys/types.h and inttypes.h have to be #included before #including lzma.h. On systems that don't have C99 inttypes.h, it's the problem of the applications to provide the required types and macros before #including lzma.h. If lzma.h defined the missing types and macros, it could conflict with third-party applications whose configure has detected that the types are missing and defined them in config.h already. An alternative would have been introducing lzma_uint32 and similar types, but that would just be an extra pain on modern systems.
